AOC SFP+ active optical cable CBO SFP-AOC-10G-5M 10 Gbps, 5 m

The AOC SFP+ active optical cable CBO SFP-AOC-10G-5M 10 Gbps, 5 m is a pre-terminated fiber connection designed for SFP+ ports. It delivers a 10 Gbps duplex link over a 5-metre fixed-cable assembly that combines optical transceivers and multimode fiber in one unit. The cable is intended for short-range, high-bandwidth interconnects between switches, servers and network appliances, offering low latency and reduced power consumption compared with traditional copper alternatives.

Advantages

This active optical cable provides a compact, lightweight and plug-and-play solution that eliminates the need for separate transceivers and patch cords. Its integrated design reduces installation time and simplifies cable management in dense rack environments. The optical medium ensures electrical isolation and immunity to electromagnetic interference, while the SFP+ form factor maintains wide compatibility with equipment that supports SFP+ host interfaces.

Suitable for

• Data center uplinks and top-of-rack switch connections
• Server-to-switch and server-to-server high-speed links
• Aggregation links in network closets and wiring rooms
• Short-range interconnects requiring low latency and stable 10 Gbps throughput

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbps duplex
• Length: 5 metres (fixed assembly)
• Connector/interface: SFP+ plug on both ends
• Physical medium: active optical cable with integrated transceivers and multimode fiber
• Typical application range: short-reach multimode links
• Power: low-power active modules integrated into the cable

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ slot on the two devices to be linked, ensuring the connectors are fully seated and the device link LEDs indicate a valid connection. No separate transceivers or patch panels are required. Verify that the connected equipment supports SFP+ active optical cables and configure link speed and duplex settings on the devices if necessary. Handle the cable by the connectors or the reinforced boot; avoid tight bends and kinks along the fiber run to maintain signal integrity.

Recommendations

Use in controlled rack environments with bend-radius compliance and avoid exposure to extreme temperatures or fluids. For inventory and compatibility, confirm SFP+ host compatibility lists on your network devices before deployment and keep firmware up to date for optimal interoperability.
